Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:30:07 +0000#comment-69155Thanks again. Further research has uncovered the fact that we are missing some necessary containers within the Schema. As soon as our network administrator can get a sound DC/system state backup, I am going to try recreating the folders as described here:

I found many people with various public folder problems who were able to regain control of them via this method. I will let you know how it works next week after I have tried it.

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:09:11 +0000#comment-69040Forgive me if I ask the obvious questions here. On the Exchange Server line I expect you are putting the server name of the server which holds the public folders. On the global catalog server are you putting a DC which is also a global catalog server? Also are you using your credentials to authenticate? Do you have permissions to connect to the global catalog server with your credentials?

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:59:12 +0000#comment-69039Gotcha. Sounds like you have it all set up properly, however if you cannot telnet to those ports then something is amiss. Do you have a firewall turned on for your mailbox server?

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:54:37 +0000#comment-68978Thanks Technochic,

We are a small shop and have only one exchange box. Unless there are pointers I am not aware of, it would appear that both the mailbox store and the public folders both reside on the same drive:

(user mailboxes: Same path except First Storage Group

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 20:09:55 +0000#comment-68960Sorry you are having problems with this Andi! I can tell you first however that PFDAVAdmin is NOT to be run at all from the server, so I would expect you to get errors there. Only run it from your PC. In our organization we have a separate mailbox server which just holds the public folders and no mailboxes. Have you mounted a public folder on your mailbox server which holds regular mailboxes? How many Exchange Mailbox servers do you have?
